Selling A Car On Ebay
As I’ve mentioned in how to make money on ebay, I’ve set up several Ebay affiliate sites to generate passive income. Typically you make a percentage of the sales price which ends up in the 4-8% range. However, when buying cars, you only get a fixed price which is currently about $100-$130. But if you can sell a few cars through your site every month, it soon adds up.
Well, someone finally bought a whole car (as opposed to spare parts or accessories) through one of my sites. And not just any car – an antique 1972 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow!
Of course, $130 in affiliate commissions isn’t exactly earth-shattering, but it’s the largest sales commission I’ve received from Ebay so far! And coupled with the sale of an antique seiko watch, a few designer bags and cheap ipods, it almost pays the rent!

We sell on ebay, but not cars, motorcycles, ATV’s, scooters or boats anymore. Ebay Motor’s take is too high on older used items. Penny wise and dollar stupid. I’ve noticed a lot less on their site. The only thing they have a lot of is stuff that you can get at Walmart, and Walmart is cheaper. Example, a Holms Air Purifier. Ebay $59 with shipping. Exact same model at Walmart, $35.29, and that’s including the sales tax. Use to do 90% of my shopping on ebay. Not anymore, not even close. Maybe 1 item a month, sometimes not even that. Used to be over 20 buys a month. Can’t believe the bad changes in the last year. It’s a shame.

Nice thing about selling a car on eBay Motors is the vehicle protection plan. It is the only segment (that I know of at this time) that protects the buyer from fraudulent transactions. It provides up to $50,000 of protection. Here is the link in case you are curious.
